Hospira Inc. (HSP) is recalling certain dietary supplements and
anesthesia products because some may contain stainless steel
particles that could restrict blood flow and lead to heart attacks
or death.
Hospira said it's recalling 85 lots of its fat emulsion products
Liposyn, used in infants and others who are unable to get fat in
their diet, according to a press release the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration posted on its Web site. The press release is from
Hospira, not the FDA.
Hospira, based in Lake Forest, Ill., is also recalling certain
lots of injectable propofol, which is used to sedate patients.
Hospira said it hasn't received any reports of adverse events
associated with people who have taken the products, which were
distributed between July and October. "Hospira is undertaking this
recall in consideration of the potential for safety issues if the
products are administered to patients," the company said.
The stainless steel particles got into the products via the
manufacturing process and Hospira said it has corrected the
problem. Anyone who experiences adverse reactions should report the
issue to the FDA by phone at 1-800-FDA-1088.
